New Episode: It’s all getting a bit Theoryish in here
Writing about web page https://exchanges.warwick.ac.uk/index.php/exchanges/podcast
The first podcast episode of the new year, brings a engaging discussion about the how, why and where of academic podcasting for early career researchers.
It’s a brand-new year, which means it’s time for a whole new season of the Exchanges Discourse podcast, focusing in as ever on the early career researcher experience. For our first episode of the year, I thought we’d have something a little bit different, as I am beyond thrilled to talk with the hosts of the incredibly successful academic podcast Theoryish – Hannah Ayres and Paola Medina-Gonzalez (University of Warwick). Maybe they can share the secrets of their success and help the Exchanges Discourse podcast gain a few more listeners, eh?
In what is undoubtably a wonderfully lively and free-wheeling exchange, the pair share the secrets and inspirations behind a personal quest for knowledge, which in turn became a whole new way to engage and share a love of academic theory. Highlighting the power of audio as a cost effective yet impactful way to engage with theory and a wider academic community, we explore elements of how podcasts fit into the realm of valuable academic outputs. Along the way, Hannah and Paola offer some candid insights and perceptions and in particular, explore just what podcasting means to them as new professionals. Interestingly, they explain how what began as a desire to engage with the literature more, has become something integral to their academic identities and future career dimensions.
Throughout, Paola and Hannah also graciously offer a range of tips and inspirations to other aspiring academics and research students looking to create and capture their own conversations within the podcast format. You can be sure we’ll be taking some of these to heart as we plot out the new episodes of the Exchanges Discourse podcast this coming year!
